Gunrunners in Duarte received the barreled action, and I received everything else (stock, parts, accessories) directly. I got a BB from Cold War Shooters and installed it - there's no way in hell I'm filling in the thumbhole stock. |

Savage 10fp
Pros - Very accurate out of the box. Good trigger Most of the smithing work can be done with no special tools Here somes the cons. Not these cons may not apply to everyone but the do apply to my style of shooting and situation. Con - No detachable mag system currently available except the factory new 10FCP. I have heard second hand accounts of the mag system not being good but I have never tried it personally Aftermarket is there but not a wide variety to tailor to you. Bolt is a little loose, meaning it is a little floppy. This is not a con for some but I didn't like it. Factory stock is utter garbage Remingto 700 SPS Pro - Good out of the box rifle but not as accurrate as the savage due to an even crappier stock Can be had cheaper then the 10FP Many options available for DM system Fits an AICS stock (my main reason for buying it) con - This is the only real con because the second con is kind of a person taste thing. The factory stock and trigger are garbage. The factory trigger can be fixed but is not supposed to be user adjustable. I suspect this is the reason for the accuracy being not as good out of the box as the savage. The stock touches the barrel even more then the savage factory stock will. Gunsmith needed for most of the stuff you can do on a savage in your garage. The second con is really a matter of the individual. Some may not care about being able to change barrels with some basic tools and would rather have a gunsmith do the work. I have heard reports of the SPS being a sub MOA gun and being dropped into a PSS stock and becoming less the, .5 moa guns. Mine was never shot without the AICS stock and brake. It is now a sub .5 gun. Last edited by Prc329; 10-29-2007 at 10:50 PM.. |

My 2 pennies...
I rarely send a guy out, (myself included) with an OEM rifle... nothing remains stock. Ya gotta hot rod the stuff a little. Savage- Longer ejection/loading port, by about 1/2 inch over the remy.. Makes loading and unloading in the even of a failure to eject much easier. Rem- wider screw spacing- better for stability in the stock. Sav- if you keep the factory barrel nut, the base or root section of the bbl must be rather slim- 1.050 to be exact. The rem comes this way, the Sav can be built this way, as I always do. Aftermarket triggers- sav has the rifle basix and the sharpshooter for about 100 bucks. To get the remy trigger to be nice, you just gotta turn some screws- that's free. Sav- offers rh/rh, rh/lh, lh/lh, and lh/rh operation with various models. Rem- RR, LL only. Sav- if you plan on leaving it as is, the sav barrel will usually shoot straighter. The sav can be mod'd into any caliber you want in the future. Stocks- there'e real good stuff available for both. The AICS is a better money-making campaign than a useful rifle stock I think. Mcmillan and HS are hard to beat. extras- reputable companies all make good scope mounts for both- so it's a tossup there. rem- factory warranty sucks arsh. Try getting Rem to fix the bolt handle WHEN it pops off or replace the extractor when it bends out of shape. Then you gotta speak spanish cause the phone lady at the factory warranty repair place don't speak anything else. Savage- if it breaks- midway and brownells just sell all the parts you need. |

The AICS is in my opinion the best stock system out. Notice I said system. The beauty of the AICS is no need to buy DBM or have the gun bedded. It also is a very well designed stock. It fits me very well and just feels damn good. The detachable mag is probably the best there is. It works better then my AR15 mag system in my opinion. The damn thing just works in the almost 300 rounds I have put threw my gun I have not had any feeding issues. Period. In any of my 2 5 rounders or my 2 10 rounders. I seat my rounds to 2.84.
I had the privilege of shooting McMillan and HS stocks. The McMillian I shot was on a Remmy and I believe it was an A3. The HS was on a Savage and the factory HS on the 700P. They all felt nice and worked well but just didn't feel right to me. Then there is the cost of bedding a rifle properly and the cost of the DBM on the remmy and you are at the price of an AICS 1.5 or more. Everyone that has shot or held my rifle loves that stock. |

Sure-it's quite charming. I'm finishing up a 338 for myself right now-I kinda spun the ferret idea a little. It's a tube gun, with a PG, but I bull-pupped the design- to save length. Everyone's gotta have a 338.

the thing on the AICS is the grip- it's too low, dones not allow a sj=hooter of any size to get his hand where it should be. It kinda forces the web of your hand too low. Does not allow your hand to get behind the rifle- it leaves it at the side. The principle is sound, yes, not perfectly executed though.

![]() I have no problem using an AICS on my Remingtons in any regard. My hand fits fine in all positions. I'll agree that it doesn't fit everyone but then again, nothing ever really does. |

Wilshier, she is a beauty. Karsten did the stock?
Oh and here is what the final rifle will look like. I plan on getting my Mike Rock installed on it after the beginning of the year so the only thing that will be diff is the recoil lug, barrel and muzzle brake. ![]() |

LAK-
That thing won't work- It ain't Tactical. Please refer...http://www.geocities.com/precisework/tactical.html The rings are not matching. Point deduction. SHINY crap on the tail end. Point deduction GREEN CAMO??? Have we been paying attention? POINT DEDUCTION!!! OEM bolt knob- NOT badger, 1/2 point deduction. No Pod-loc- 1/2 point deduction. It's ok though- yer' just starting out. Try again. Maybe next time your rifle will deserve to be in this thread. |

on a side note, I was at a local Turner's last week. They were trying to sell a "custom" 700 for 2k. It was a Remington 700P with the barrel recut to 20inches. It sported a bottom end Leupold with some crappy rings and mount. It did have a badger bolt mod or at least it looked like badger, and a benchrest haris bipod. I told the guy behind the counter that it was false advertisment, and they stuck to the story that it was custom. I asked if the action was at least trued, and he said, "it had a custom barrel job" on it. BS! Compared to what I saw last week, this green m40 wannabe rifle is much better.
